I had exactly the same symptoms. My Usplash screen looked fine on
startup, but the Usplash screen had incorrect colors at shutdown. When
I did the original install of the Hardy beta, I did not have this
behaviour. I think it only happened after I installed Startup-Manager
and used it to set a custom Usplash screen. But once the problem
started, if I switched back to the default Ubuntu Usplash screen I still
had incorrect colors on shutdown, even with the Ubuntu Usplash screen.
So I knew it had nothing to do with the custom Usplash.
I am using 1024x768 resolution. After much experimentation I found that
If I manually edited the /boot/grub/menu.lst and set defoptions=vga=791
then the Usplash screen looked normal both at startup and shutdown.
Looking back in Startup-Manager I see that this option uses a color
depth of 16 bits. The color depth that Startup-Manager was using before,
when I saw the problem, was 8-bit. So the solution in my case was just
to make sure that Usplash was using the correct color depth, and Usplash
looked fine both on startup and shutdown.
In my case at least, I didn't have to blacklist anything to fix the
problem.
